#BanAkinaFromPostingInHere please for the love of god Melrose.

Could be helpful I guess but personally it's not my role/job to look into this stuff as me looking at them won't change anything.

This is what I expected and agree with and same reason as I mentioned in the quote above, us seeing these numbers won't change anything.

I mean you know, I would be regarded as entirely inactive, because according to the criteria I haven't really hosted much for months, unless I was handling the process of finalising a members trial period.
I don't expect you to host much anyway as you lead that team but what my idea was to MAYBE add a period of time to be away until you'd consider them resigning or being fired? because at some points, those staff members are in these positions for months without hosting anything and not really even being seen.

melrose gave you a reasonable response as to why some ES members are less active than others yet you are still asking for their heads. I think it's safe to assume if an ES member didn't have a good reason for being inactive then they would be removed. It's not as if the ES is "full", there's nothing stopping a passionate player with mountains of free time from applying for the role.

This isn't entirely unreasonable as a point to make, because I understand that this could be just a bad look, but at the same time there was never a time when we said no to new members, unless we had 4 trials at the same time. I can admit to mishandling some specific cases, where we let someone stay around too long enough by doing less than bare minimum, but it's a constant dilemma of "that person has done some good things before, it'd be a shame to have them leave on bad relations, maybe they're going to show activity soon".
I've really considered making some changes to the structure of the team, basically rework how we approached hosting and what the goals are for our team, but always something else came around that took the time. With Swosh no longer around I'm planning to make some minor changes either way, might as well make this a preface to the true changes that will come in the future!! There are some exciting things coming though, can't really drop any ETA but this has to do with in-game tourneys wink wink

I mean yeah, but there have been months when I was especially free and had time to pop out 30 tourneys a month even as lead, especially that for the longest time I was the sole person handling anything to do with trials. Right now it's all about doing the Nabi stuff, being lead and finally getting done with my bachelor degree. 2 months and I'm done with it, then expect huge things as a victory lap to celebrate academia > : )

I'm not after anyone's head lad, I'm only suggesting my idea's and thoughts on what I think should happen and maybe give Melrose and or other admins an idea on some things, what I have been saying comes out harsh because it's the truth lad, stuff needs to change to make this community more lively and this is what I assume the nabi employees want to do now.
I know these staff members voluntarily moderate the game in different area's that being the forum or game but it does look awkward when someone hasn't been on in a couple of months and is still a staff member and this continuously happening will cause some drama.

Now this is relieving knowing you lads are working towards changes

It's unpredictable in more ways than not how unassuming life can turn out, keeping us away from a game we love and cherish.
What you're speaking of happens all the time, with numerous cases being during my tenure. For obvious reasons of privacy, we do not disclose who's been removed for inactivity but I assure you we do have such measures in place.
